[@iamharshtegta]

Was waiting for the best drag flicker Jugraj Singh, but thoroughly enjoyed listening Gagan Ajit Singh and Deepak Thakur of course ! What an era of Hockey that was, so many talented guys ! That era of 2000s in Indian Hockey will also be remembered for a long long time !

[@BeyondSportswithHarpreetLamba]

Yes, unfortunately Jugraj couldn't join us due to a last minute engagement. Yes, quite a bunch this and it was a special era and time when they played. Truly special!

[@ramasubramanianr944]

Loved the interview. Eagerly waiting for the likes of Dilip Tirkey, Dhanraj & Viren.

Sadly, the final was not shown on any channel and I think no recording exists

[@anilnitrkl]

I wish u could take question from audience as well

[@progamerthomas4713]

Paul Lissek ever so wanted to coach these junior world champions in 2001. IHF just didn't had the vision and injury to Jugraj also spelled doom for us. Well done Harpreet for organising such interesting talk.

[@BeyondSportswithHarpreetLamba]

Yes, you are right. Together, this bunch could have achieved much more. Thanks for watching and your words of encouragement! Appreciate it

[@DeepakSharma-sp8cr]

Nice to hear them, I always loved this team.. I am 53 yrs old now.. Watched Junior world cup 2021. India was outclassed by Germany and France- they never played as one unit- Wish if these superstars could give their views on it
